Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to evaluate the impact of board characteristics on bank performance at the commercial bank in Vietnam.
Design/methodology/approach
By running the pool OLS, fixed-effect and random-effect models with a panel data set of 294 observations from 2008 to 2021, the authors have examined determinants of bank performance.
Findings
The research results show that bank size, governance efficiency, capital adequacy ratio and economic growth have a positive effect while credit risk has a negative relationship with the commercial bank’s performance.
Originality/value
In particular, the result shows the relationship between chief executive officers’ (CEOs) gender and bank performance. Commercial banks led by female CEOs have lower bank performance than that led by male CEOs. However, this impact magnitude is not significant. The research results are the basis to propose recommendations to improve the Vietnamese commercial bank’s performance.
